Chances are if I reached out to you,
You could stare me down with silence.
Or, you could start a dialogue
About ‘I told you so’s’.
You might even arrive at one of your profound theories
Of how we could’ve said our adieus right.
But, I wonder if you’ll venture
To build a bridge across forever,
Supported on make-shift bamboo poles,
With water snakes slithering around them.

Thanks so much for the encouragement and appreciation! I was just following through with a simple thought, and actually rather unsure about the ending…glad you like it! You have a great week too, and thanks again for your inspiring poetry 🙂
